OEM Audi Brake Pads Online

Whether you drive an Audi Q5 SUV or an Audi RS7 Sportback performance car, you depend on your brakes slowing and stopping your momentum on command. That means that every component in your disc brake system working as it should -- especially your brake pads.

How Audi Brake Pads Work

The brake pads attach to your brake calipers to cushion the contact of them clamping down onto the brake rotors. That clamping is what produces the friction needed to slow your wheels.

The Types of Audi Brake Pads

There are four kinds of brake pads used these days:

Organic brake pads are most common. They're ideal for cars and SUVs, due to the fact that they're reliable, easier on the rotors, and -- perhaps most important for many -- the most affordable option.

Ceramic brake pads are usually seen on trucks. They're quiet, and extremely reliable on wet roads.

Metallic brake pads are also most likely to be used on trucks. They're firmer-feeling, and built to be heat-resistant.

Carbon fiber brake pads are typically reserved for sports cars and performance models like the RS7 Sportback mentioned earlier. They're temperature-resistant, tougher than the other kinds, and deliver outstanding stopping power.

How to Spot Issues With Your Brake Pads

You’ll know that it’s time to replace your brake pads if you hear squeaking, grinding, or squealing noises coming from your brakes. A vibrating or bouncing brake pedal, or a lack of brake pedal pressure, are also indicators that you’re due for a new set. Be sure to replace them in pairs for consistent performance.
